Curtailment of turbine operations during low wind conditions has become an operational
minimization tactic to reduce bat mortality at terrestrial wind energy facilities. Site-specific …

The foraging ecology of breeding seabirds is largely influenced by prey availability and
energy demands related to reproduction which, in combination with other factors, can affect …

Understanding species interactions among top marine predators and interactions with their
prey can provide important insight into community-level responses to changing prey …

Spatial patterns of breeding seabirds are influenced by the distribution of resources in
relation to the colony and the density of conspecifics from the same or adjacent colonies. We …

To grow, survive and reproduce under anthropogenic-induced changes, individuals must
respond quickly and favourably to the surrounding environment. A species that feeds on a …

Interspecific interactions help to shape individual- and population-level dynamics. As such,
similar species breeding sympatrically are expected to have a high potential for competition …

Density-dependent prey depletion around breeding colonies has long been considered an
important factor controlling the population dynamics of colonial animals. Ashmole proposed …

As the world develops sources of renewable energy, there is an intensifying interest in
offshore wind energy production. The Northeast US Continental Shelf (NES) ecosystem has …

Resource availability is a key factor driving marine bird movements and distributions, but
direct information on prey availability is difficult to obtain at relevant scales. We present novel …

When resources are finite, individuals optimize energy allocation between survival and
reproduction to maximize fitness. As food becomes more limited within foraging ranges of …
